Aviation Gin is a Gin from the Aviation Gin brand hailing from America.
What is Aviation Gin?
Aviation Gin stands out with its unique botanical blend, featuring lavender, cardamom, and Indian sarsaparilla, creating a softer and more floral profile compared to traditional London Dry gins. Interestingly, the brand was co-created by bartender Ryan Magarian and distiller Christian Krogstad in 2006, making it one of the first collaborations between a bartender and distiller to create a new gin expression.
Why do we love Aviation Gin?
Aviation Gin stands out for its unique botanical blend, which includes unusual ingredients like French lavender and Indian sarsaparilla alongside more traditional juniper. Unlike many gins that lean heavily on juniper, Aviation's softer, more balanced profile makes it exceptionally versatile in cocktails, particularly shining in classics like the gin sour that inspired its name.
How do you drink Aviation Gin?
Aviation Gin shines in classic gin cocktails that let its botanicals take center stage, though it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice for those who appreciate its nuanced flavors. This versatile spirit is a year-round pleasure, but it's especially refreshing in crisp, citrus-forward drinks on warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light seafood dishes or tangy cheeses that complement its floral notes.

Nose: Juniper forward with bright citrus notes. Hints of cardamom and lavender. Subtle spice and earthy undertones.
Palate: Smooth entry. Juniper and citrus peel dominate initially. Coriander and anise flavors emerge. Sarsaparilla root adds complexity. Light sweetness balances the botanical sharpness.
Finish: Medium length. Warming spice lingers. Dried herbs and a touch of licorice. Clean, crisp aftertaste with a slight floral whisper.
Aviation Gin is crafted using a unique "botanical democracy" approach, where seven carefully selected botanicals are macerated for 18 hours in neutral grain spirit before distillation. Unlike traditional London Dry gins that are often juniper-forward, Aviation's process allows each botanical to shine equally, resulting in a smoother, more balanced flavor profile that has helped redefine American gin.
